african nation: Some people had personal questions, such as one woman who said a Nigerian friend was facing deportation and faced great danger if she returned to the African nation because she is a lesbian, according to CTV. One questioner asked Trudeau whether he was concerned about the number of people crossing the border illegally and claiming refugee status. Trudeau was asked by some people whether he would boost the number of immigrants accepted into Canada every year. Trudeau responded that Canada has obligations under international treaties to give asylum seekers a hearing, but also has the resources to ensure that people who are deemed not to be refugees are dealt with appropriately. One woman interrupted another questioner by shouting out opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion project that would carry diluted bitumen from Alberta through British Columbia. We always make sure that security is the first thing that is checked, Trudeau said.
